This is a good time to remark that Google Video, while neat, is not as user-friendly as YouTube. Getting the code to embed in a website is a pain in the ass, and the interface just looks awfully cold. This website also counts down 10 reasons YouTube beats Google Video. I tried to be fair and find a list in favour of GoogleVideo, but this blog is the closest I could quickly find. Also notice how "YouTube" is so quick and easy to type or say, while "Google Video" is much clunkier. "G-Vid" would have maybe been a better name (of course, then I'd likely criticize it for trying to hard to have an edgy sounding name, so they can't win).
